Regardless of the fact that the city has a large group of planners on staff, that's what the city does...they perfer to hire outside consultants rather than use their existing staff.<br>

      <![CDATA[“The city has a history of saying things and not following through.”<br>
<br>
It's about the time someone exposed the city of their faults and their lack of focus on other neighborhoods that are full of potential in an actual article instead of the comment section. In order to unleashing that potential the B.P Boulevard (Highland Park in general), the residents need to give a damn about their own neighborhood and hold themselves AND the city government responsible for the outcome of the neighborhood.
